The 2003 As If Cabernet Sauvignon is a high octane, well-balanced effort boasting classic creme de cassis, smoke, earth, and dried herb notes. Full-bodied and flavorful, with great depth as well as impressive intensity, it was made from young vines (under 15 years of age) cropped at 1.75 tons of fruit per acre. It should last for 10-12 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
